DEFCON 1.4.3

Shall We Play A Game?

Ambrosia has once again teamed up with Introversion, the award-winning developer of the hit game Darwinia for its eagerly awaited third title DEFCON.
DEFCON is a compelling online multiplayer strategy game based around the theme of global thermonuclear war. The game, inspired by the 1983 cult-classic WarGames, superbly evokes the tension, paranoia and suspicion surrounding the Cold War era.

Your Mission

The player assumes the role of a Commander hidden deep within an underground bunker, the mission being to successfully exterminate the enemyâ€™s civilian population while at the same time disabling the enemyâ€™s ability to retaliate. You'll need to form fast, tactical alliances - alliances that may at any moment break-down to become treacherous and very deadly betrayals.

World Domination

Nobody Wins

Start by launching battleships, subs, and bombers in order to decimate your opponent's defenses. Scramble together your alliances, but remember, only one can stand victorious.
Do you have what it takes to outsmart your opponent?
Can you handle the pressure of global thermonuclear war?
Remember - nobody wins. But maybe - just maybe - you can lose the least.

If you have any interest in strategy games whatsoever, definitely check out DEFCON. It feels like a blast of fresh air in a genre that seems more interested in coating Starcraft or Command & Conquer with a fresh coat of paint rather than biting the bullet and innovating.

Your cooperation with Introversion is the best thing ever happened to Mac gaming.

I've been looking forward to this game for ages, and the demo was even better than I had dreamt: Insta-Buy! PS. I love you Ambrosia Software, in spite of your ScreenCleaner Pro ;)

Thank you so much for all your hard work and for offering such an amazing game. You have no idea how valuable you are to the Mac community!

I've been drooling over this game since it was PC-only (I sold my PC just before it came out), and now that its on Mac I had to buy it immediately.

Introversion / Ambrosia are an unstoppable combination. Never stop publishing Mac versions of their games! Please!

This is the coolest game I've ever played. Now I've got to buy it, so I can go head to head with online opponents.

Looking for a new game and SketchFighter was such a blast, you were the first place I looked.

G. MacManus, Customer

Sketchfighter has received full marks (5 out of 5). [Sketchfighter] is what is closer to our idea of a perfect game.

As long as you've got the time, though, DEFCON is a immersive and satisfying game of strategy. DEFCON may not have expensive 3D action or hollywood-caliber cinematic cut scenes, but with rewarding challenges, an active online community, and solid strategic gameplay, it does deliver a top-notch gaming experience for all aspiring flag officers.
